The Eternal Soaring Sword

Chapter 9 - Questioning the Heart to Prove Dao

Compared to the beauty of the beauty in the pink palace dress, the nobility and coldness of the plain-clothed woman next to him was more appealing to the young man. Age 13 is when a person's feelings are still fuzzy, so attraction to the opposite sex has different feelings.

Zhao Jiuge's eyes were filled with passion and she was breathing rapidly as she involuntarily muttered, "Very beautiful!" The woman in the pink dress frowned slightly as she proudly looked down.

There was no expression on his face, as if he was looking down on an ant. "Senior sister Bo Re, it's just a wild child." His voice was pleasant but very arrogant.

The plain-clothed woman did not respond to what she said, as if nothing interested her. He looked at the deep and cold pool and did not even see the young man.

A moment later, the plainclothes woman asked, “Are you sure this is the place?” His voice was soft but had no emotions at all. It could freeze anyone within thousands of kilometers.

“Senior sister Bo Re, this is the place. A few months ago, I passed this place and a dragon flood demon suddenly absorbed the spiritual energy here and created a ray of light that shone around the pond.” When the pink-clothed woman looked at the plain-clothed woman, there was a hint of fear in her eyes.

After hearing this, the plainclothes woman touched her chin and said, "Go, fishing rod." His voice is very commanding.

Zhao Jiuge was still immersed in their dialogue when he learned that the cold pond had an evil flood dragon that would come out to cultivate from time to time. He thought about how he was cultivating inside the pond for several days. He was lucky that the flood dragon did not come out, or else it would swallow him whole.

Seeing they were about to fly towards the pond, his heart stiffened as if he was about to lose something. This hesitation caused his breathing to become unstable and the spirit power within his body to become chaotic. He opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something to the plainclothes woman.

Sensing the fluctuation of spirit power, the plain-clothed woman was startled and slightly raised her eyebrows. His gaze moved towards the source of the fluctuation.

He only saw a black-clothed, tired-looking young man standing on the edge of the cliff. His long hair was tied by a piece of black cloth and on his shoulder was a nervous little monkey.

The young man looked very young and his gaze was hot. After experiencing the gazes of all the famous disciples from the various sects, the plain-clothed woman understood what the young man was thinking. At this moment, his young and handsome face became crimson and his breathing became rough. His hands nervously clasped his clothes and he looked extremely helpless.

It was late at night and deep in the mountains. At one party was a young man and a monkey, while the other was two cold and noble women. It was a very strange sight.

The plain-clothed woman only glanced once and then withdrew her gaze. He then steered the dragon boat towards the surface of the pond. All this time, he had only glanced at her briefly.

The young man opened his mouth, but because of his gaze, he was too nervous to speak. He came from a small mountain village and never had any friends to talk to, let alone the opposite sex. This makes it very shy and very formal.

Because of that look, her originally shy face color and her slightly open mouth were tightly shut. That look shattered a bit of the trust gathered by the young man of this small mountain village. That view had damaged the fragile self-esteem of this young man of this small mountain village. That view had caused his worldview to change drastically.

The young man's hands clenched tightly, and because he used so much force, the veins in his hands protruded.

“Why am I risking my soul being destroyed to take the first step into the path of cultivation !? What do I want!? If my heart doesn't know what I want, then what dao can I look for? How can I pursue the elusive path to becoming immortal?

Even thousands of armored cavalry could not compare to the power of heaven. Some people were cultivating to pursue strength outside of mortal means.

The world was mysterious and filled with spiritual energy. The stars are vast and the path to immortality is hard to find. Some people pursue the path to becoming immortals in search of the mysteries of heaven and earth.

“What am I looking for? Am I not cultivating so that I can take revenge and correct the wrongs in the world?

“What am I looking for? Am I not cultivating so that I can happily stand above everything and look down on all life?

“What am I looking for? Didn't I cultivate so that I could kill all the bad guys in the world?

“What am I looking for? Wasn't I cultivating so that I could pursue the path of immortality so that I could live as long as heaven and earth?”

At this moment, there was a heaven-shattering change in Zhao Jiuge's heart. He straightened his heart and questioned himself to confirm his dao. She was just a woman, so arrogant as to see her as a mere ant. Once he became strong, he would crush that pride! At this moment, Zhao Jiuge remembered the name "Bo Re."

The dragon boat floated above the pond and looked darker at night. Spirit power surged from the lady in pink clothes and a beam of pink sword light appeared. It illuminated the surrounding area like a small sun.

He casually swung the pink sword and a beam of light shot towards the pond. The light penetrated the pond and caused ripples to spread out.

A few seconds later, a loud explosion came from the pond and the water shot hundreds of meters into the air. Even the cliffs around the pool were shaking. The two women silently watched the pond, but even after a long time, there was no movement.

The plain-clothed woman still had an iceberg-like expression, but the pink-clothed woman frowned. He condensed the pink sword once more and the pink light shone brightly. He took out a sword and the spirit power in his body flowed into the pink sword in his hand.

With a powerful wave, a pink spirit power swept out and struck the pond like lightning. A series of explosions resounded, followed by rumbling rumbles. The surrounding cliffs began to collapse and rocks fell into the pond. Even the flow from the waterfall split apart.

The second attack of the lady in pink clothes was much stronger. Everything calmed down as if nothing had happened. For the first time, the expression of the plainclothed woman changed.

He frowned slightly and there was a flash of light in his eyes. A layer of milky white spirit power appeared, and suddenly, a two meter long sword appeared in his right hand. The body of the long sword was purple in color and the entire sword shone. The purple light continued to shine and released a purple aura. The words "Purple Abyss" were engraved on the sword hilt

When the lady in pink clothes saw the purple flying sword, there was a glint of jealousy in her eyes that quickly turned to envy. Her expression became complicated when she thought that this person was indeed worthy of being called the daughter of heaven and the direct disciple of their teacher. He had even given the Purple Abyss Sword for this trip out.

As the plainclothed woman gathered her spirit power to act on her own, there was finally a reaction from the pond.

The surface of the pond water continued to sink as a gigantic shadow emerged from the water. The sound of running water resounded, but objects within the pond had yet to appear. The entire pool and the surrounding cliffs were covered by the intense pressure as the violent spirit power fluctuated. Zhao Jiuge, standing on the edge of the cliff, felt like something was suffocating him. He could barely breathe and his body trembled.
